To maintain a more upright torso position in order to balance the weight and thus it’s more taxing on the core and the quads than a traditional back squat just remember to still brace the core keep the knees out and explode up from the bottom like a regular back squat squat variation for Zurcher squat this is one of my favorites it’s an old-school very creation that can pack on some serious total body mass in fact this is the only squat that can.

Actually help directly build your biceps the set up is a bit uncomfortable at first you want.

To hook your arms under the bar place the bar in the crook of your elbow as if you were carrying a bundle of two by fours or some logs then you perform practically the same movement as a front squat because the bar is lower and you have to support it with your arms.

It forces your biceps into an isometric contraction throughout the whole exercise try these out and you’ll feel your legs core and arms thrashed by the end squat variation number five goblet squat this is a great beginner friendly squat variation to.

Help teach proper squat form and depth to set up you grab a kettlebell dumbbell or fat though and hold it against.

Your chest then as you squat down you want to go all the way down keeping your knees on the outside of your elbows and torso this helps teach proper alignment of.

And makes it easier to get lower in the squat for a complete range of motion to make it a little more advanced and harder on the core you can extend your arms all the way out in front of.

Great for even development of both legs this can be performed flat on the ground or with your back leg raised on a bench essentially you will position your legs in a lunge position and then lower and raise yourself straight back up being sure to drive through.

The heel of the front leg you can do this with the barbell on your back or dumbbells at your sides just remember the back leg is only there to help you keep balance you should be doing all the work with the front leg and switch legs halfway through the set so each leg gets an even amount of work every set squat variation number seven pack.

Can be performed on a hack squat machine but I prefer the old-school barbell version as forces you to stabilize the core much more.

To set up place a loaded barbell behind your legs and perform the exact same movement as a deadlift so the bar comes up along the back of your legs instead of your shins this might take some getting used to but once you’ve got it down you’ll feel a burn in the quants like no other from this one.
